Chapter 728: World of Fraud

The God of Chaos looked at Mu You with a fanatical smile on his face.

"I immediately detected the future of you fools."

"You fools are the product of the confrontation between the wills of two worlds. In order to fight against the divine system, the will of the original world will promote the birth of a heavenly being in the future."

"And I don't need to change this fact. I just need to go with the flow and interfere a little at some key nodes to make this Heavenly Daoist's Heavenly Dao type go in the direction that meets my expectations..."

Mu You stared at the God of Chaos and narrowed his eyes: "In other words, you have planned all this since the time of the first generation of Fools?"

The God of Chaos smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think those first-generation fools were able to escape back to the lower realm smoothly? With our strength at the time, it would be easy to kill them all in the sky."

"In the thousands of years since then, I have carefully deduced and influenced the future day after day... Finally one day, I successfully deduced your existence and directed your power to the route I wanted..."

At this time, Mu You had a deeper understanding of what the God of Order said at the time, 'His appearance is the result of many people's planning.'

The ‘many people’ here are not only the ancestors of the Fool, the God of Order, but also the two world wills.

Also included was the enemy in front of him, the God-Eating Beast.

Everyone, or each camp, has their own different purposes. In the end, due to the wrestling and pulling of various forces, the current situation was created.

The God of Chaos was still showing off and continued his explanation: "This space is a place I created specifically for this battle a thousand years ago. There is no interference from outsiders here, only you and me, and you control the past. , I control the future, we have enough time, I can spend it with you for hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years?"

"You can never kill me, and I can never do anything to you. From the beginning, there can only be one outcome for our struggle: to merge into one..."

"Do you know now why the future we both see ends on this day?"

The God of Chaos looked at Mu You with a leisurely expression: "Because from today on, I will abandon my original body and replace you to become a brand new life form."

"Until the fusion is complete, you and I will have no future."

…

Mu You did not answer, and flashed past again, slashing out with a knife, easily killing the God of Chaos in front of him, and then turned back to look at the newly appeared God of Chaos behind him.

"I know you want to parasitize me, but how do you do it?"

The Chixiao armor on his body is an artifact made by a mechanic who spent his entire life to fight against parasites.

If the opponent wants to parasitize him, they can only destroy the armor first, and then they must capture him at close range, but is this possible?

The current difference in strength and speed between the two sides meant that the opponent would be beaten in a close combat. If Mu You wanted to escape, the opponent would not even be able to touch the corners of his clothes.

"Yes, now I no longer have the ability to capture you alone." The God of Chaos admitted this frankly, but then added the second half of the sentence.

"Unless the parasitic seeds have been planted in your body in advance."

"What?" Mu You was startled.

The word 'seed' made him realize something instantly.

In the mind, there were three villains representing divine authority. The seeds of chaos among them suddenly showed some abnormality at this moment, and a ball of black energy emerged from the seeds.

Could it be that...

Mu You's eyelids twitched. He always thought that the will in the Seed of Chaos had been eliminated long ago, but he didn't expect that there was still a trace left.

The separation of the three divine powers is a very delicate balance. The seeds of chaos have always been suppressed by the seeds of order. At this moment, with the riot of chaos, the seeds of order also responded quickly and immediately released their power to suppress it.

But no matter how quickly, the balance of heaven in his body was finally fluctuated, causing Mu You's consciousness to be in a trance for a moment, even if the fluctuation was suppressed in less than half a second.

But in this top-level battle, half a second of lag is enough to end everything.

When Mu You came back from his trance, the God of Chaos had appeared in front of him, strangled his neck with one hand, and even the chaotic energy had covered his body surface.

At the same time, a stronger force of heaven suppressed him, making him unable to move for a moment.

Mu You subconsciously started backtracking.

Keep looking back, trying to revise this past.

"No need to try, you can keep going back to the past, and I can keep correcting the future."

"At least with the current situation, the future is greater than the past. No matter how you change the past, the future has been determined by me at the moment of your negligence." The voice of the God of Chaos sounded.

Mu You knew that the other party was not being alarmist. He had just backtracked more than 3,600 times. He had tried all possibilities, but found that it was useless.

Indeed, as the other party said, at the moment of his negligence, the future of this node has been locked.

The next second, Mu You felt something cold and invisible penetrate the armor, pass through his throat, and invade his body.

"Capture completed...fusion started..."

With the last words, the voice of the God of Chaos stopped abruptly.

Mu You and the God of Chaos froze in place at the same time, their eyes dull.

The difference was that the power of order in Mu You began to slowly increase, while the vitality of the God of Chaos opposite him was rapidly fading.

…

The parasitism of the God Devouring Beast is a very long process. Depending on the physique of different creatures, the time required fluctuates within the range of 1-220 hours.

Fusion of the body is only the basis, and more importantly, the fusion of memory and personality.

An orange jellyfish body appeared in Mu You's sea of ​​consciousness and began to search and organize his life memories and experiences.

In the depths of memory, it saw Mu You's complete life timeline with the ability of the parasitic beast.

But on this timeline, which should normally be straight, there are countless bad points.

Some formed dense closed circles at a certain point, some were abrupt folds, and some areas directly had small-scale line segment breaks.

The jellyfish body naturally knew that these were all time abilities that Mu You had used before.

Each of the closed circles on the timeline represents a time retracing, the 'folds' are time stasis, and the 'breaks' are the deletion of one's own part of time.

Now, it needs to sort out all the bad spots and knots on these timelines during the fusion process, follow Mu You's life from beginning to end, and complete the parasitism until it thoroughly understands everything he has experienced.

This process will be a huge challenge for ordinary parasitic beasts, but for the God of Chaos, who has also been dealing with time abilities for many years, he enjoys it.

The God of Chaos is not in a hurry, and sorts out the memory bit by bit according to the chronological order of Mu You's life...

Until a bad point...

"Oh? There is another part here... I almost missed it..."

The God of Chaos accompanied Mu You's life, from the age of 0 to 27 in one breath, all the way smoothly.

Until the timeline advances to the scene where Mu You entered the Ring Forest and jumped into the Moon Lake in the deepest part of the Ring Forest.

At that time, Mu You stayed in the Moon Lake for a day and a night. He should have no memory of this period, because he had been dismembered into dust and died from the moment he jumped into the Moon Lake, and was not reassembled and resurrected until he left the Moon Lake.

But the God of Chaos carefully discovered that in the blank time of one day and one night, there was a slight fluctuation at a certain point.

If the God of Chaos was not sharp enough, it might have missed it directly, and eventually led to the failure of fusion.

"Interesting, let me see, what did you hide here..." The God of Chaos instinctively delved into it and unlocked this memory that was sealed by external forces.

It was at the bottom of a cold and dark lake. It stood drowsily on a stone statue of a human head, and a voice below slowly narrated.

"... This is a secret that must not be known to the outside world. It is only in the core of this ring forest, where the divinity cannot reach..."

"... After excluding all foreign matter, even you and I have completely destroyed our physical bodies, and only a group of consciousness is left to face each other honestly, the 'truth' can be conveyed to you..."

"And after leaving Moon Lake, you will forget everything here... until the right time in the future, recall it again..."

...

The God of Chaos did not care too much at first, but as the conversation deepened, a chill on the back rose from its body.

The God of Chaos was shocked. In this short time gap, it heard a terrifying conversation, a misleading plan for the divine world...

Before it could read this part of the memory completely, the time of consciousness suddenly jumped.

When the jellyfish opened its eyes again, it found itself in a world of cessation.

It was a store, the most familiar place for Mu You-the pet store where he grew up.

"What happened?" The jellyfish was a little confused. It knew that this should be a memory that had not been sorted out in the future, but it didn't quite understand why it suddenly jumped here.

In the scene, Mu You walked to the study on the second floor.

The sun was shining in the study. Lin Xue sat on the recliner in front of the windowsill, basking in the sun, curling up her legs, lazily leaning on the back of the chair and falling into a light sleep.

In the entire world of cessation, only the two of them remained active.

From the perspective of a bystander, the jellyfish saw Mu You walk towards the sleeping Lin Xue, looking at the sleeping face of the person he loved, sighing softly, and slowly raising his right palm.

Lin Xue, who was sleeping, woke up at this moment. Seeing Mu You's action, she panicked and grabbed his hand: "No, you can't do this... I can still hold on... I promised to accompany you to the end..."

Mu You smiled: "You should leave..."

"And, I believe more than anyone else that you will come back here to find me..."

"No, don't..." Lin Xue stretched out her hand and wanted to refuse in panic.

Mu You had already slapped it down and imprinted it on Lin Xue.

Just like when he was in the Ring Forest, he slapped out the butterflies in the bodies of those parasites one by one. At this moment, something invisible was also slapped out of Lin Xue's body.

Lin Xue immediately kept stretching out his hand and fell into petrification. Like other creatures sealed in the world of cessation, he withdrew from the world of cessation and turned into a human-shaped shell.

The world of cessation became quiet. Mu You carefully placed the statue of Lin Xue in the corner, and then turned back and looked at the jellyfish floating behind him.

"Now, it's time to solve our problem..."

"Where is this place?" Jellyfish asked with a frown.

"This is the time cage."

Jellyfish immediately realized that this was Mu You's memory in the Heart of Time...The God of Chaos had also entered the Heart of Time, and it was not unfamiliar with the rules here.

"What does that conversation just now mean?" The God of Chaos is more concerned about the horrifying information he just heard.

"It means literally. This is a trap. Everything is to lead you here, into this cage built specifically for you..."

"Built specifically for me?"

"You think you are standing in the atmosphere, but in fact, you are just a chess piece. All the actions you seem to be planning in secret are actually just choices made under the guidance of the environment..."

Mu You is still in a state of parasitism at this moment. The jellyfish is eroding his will and memory bit by bit, but he is not afraid at all, and even turns the tables.

It seems that this is his territory, and the God of Chaos is not actively eroding him, but is just invited by him to be a guest.

"You already knew those truths?" Through the erosion of consciousness, the jellyfish quickly understood the cause and effect, and guessed what would happen, staring at Mu You with resentment.

"I know, but I forgot. It's thanks to you that I remembered this very important memory..." Mu You exhaled.

At this moment, he had completely remembered the information that the mechanic had told him under the Moon Lake.

At that time, the mechanic had told him all the future trends like a prophet, including that he would fight with the God of Chaos in the future, and would be defeated by the God of Chaos and parasitized on the spot.

But parasitism was the real beginning of their plan, because they had already dug a pit and prepared a cage in Mu You's memory, just waiting for the mother body of the God Devourer to jump in.

But this plan was a hidden chess move, a fraud that concealed the truth and could not be known by anyone. The "anyone" here even included Mu You himself, because the object of their fraud was not a certain individual, but the entire divine world. Any trace of the revelation would make the plan fail.

And the reason why the future they observed ended today was not because they would complete the parasitic handover on this day, but because they would return to the time cage on this day and complete a larger time closed loop. Before the closed loop was completed, the future of this world line would be unobservable, and it could even be said that it no longer existed.

"You want to trap me to death here? Unfortunately, time alone can't kill people." The jellyfish body said with a sinister look.

"You are wrong, time can kill people, time can even erase everything, as long as that period of time is long enough..."

Mu You now finally understands why he stayed in the time cage for a month.

It's not because he couldn't get out, but because he chose to stay. After spending two thousand years in the time cage, from the moment Lin Xue was sent away by him, this place is no longer just a cage, but also a battlefield between him and the God of Chaos.

"Our battle will indeed last for a long time, but not for hundreds of years, not thousands of years, not tens of thousands of years, but - 3 billion years." Mu You looked at the jellyfish body calmly.

Vivian is right, a person can't stay in the time cage.

Lin Xue, Vivian, the Fairy Queen, including himself, all thought that he had walked the remaining 3 billion years alone.

It was not until now that he realized that he was not the only one imprisoned in the cage of time. It was precisely because someone had been with him that Mu You was able to survive for so long.

But even so, after 3 billion years, his soul, memory, and will had all been worn out, leaving only an empty shell without a soul. If it weren't for the archiver, he would have been a dead man at that time.

If he couldn't hold on, how could the enemy hold on?

As the saying goes: time can kill everything, as long as it is long enough...

3 billion years...

When the jellyfish heard this number, it couldn't help but take a breath and stared at Mu You with resentment: "Do you want to die with me?"

Even if it hadn't experienced it personally, it could probably imagine what it would look like in 3 billion years...

He couldn't understand how Mu You would agree to this plan of "since I can't kill you, I'll use time to kill you."

"Die together? No, you're the only one who will die here. One day in the future, she will come back to rescue me." Mu You said.

The jellyfish body sneered: "You have seen the future, so you should know that every time you start over, a different future will be born."

"That woman has now drifted to another world line without you, and has forgotten your existence under the rules of the world. The last time she was able to come back was because of a lot of coincidences. How can you be sure that she will remember you again next time?"

Faced with the jellyfish body's doubts, Mu You just smiled and shook his head: "Because we have an appointment, I believe that no matter how many times she comes back, she will definitely come back here to keep the appointment."

"No, she won't! You will be forgotten by her, forgotten by everyone, and eventually turned into a grain of dust in time, floating here forever..." The jellyfish body said like a curse.

"Then, wait and see." Mu You smiled, without much argument, just turned to the jellyfish body and stretched out his hand.

"In short, please give me more advice for the next 3 billion years..."

"I hope you can hold on as long as possible, otherwise I will be very lonely..."
